Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Franklin Armory CA320 significant for California gun owners?

The Franklin Armory CA320 is significant because it's the first Sig P320 style pistol to be placed on the California Handgun Roster. This makes it the easiest and most readily available way for individuals in California to legally acquire a P320 platform firearm through standard retail channels.

How does the CA320 differ from a standard Sig P320 regarding magazine use?

The CA320 comes equipped with a grip module featuring a single-round sled instead of a traditional magazine well. To use standard magazines, the factory grip module must be replaced with a compatible aftermarket P320 grip module that includes a magazine well and release.

Is the Franklin Armory CA320 optics-ready?

Yes, the Franklin Armory CA320 is optics-ready straight from the factory. This is a notable feature for on-roster pistols in California, as many other compliant handguns do not offer this capability without modification.

What is the price point of the Franklin Armory CA320 compared to other acquisition methods in California?

The CA320 is priced around $950. This is considerably more affordable than acquiring a P320 via the single-shot exemption (SSE) route, which can cost upwards of $750 just for the fire control unit, plus the cost of other components.
